We Can't Hear! Speakers Needed

My students need a sound system and speakers for the computer to listen to music.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Williams's classroom raised $289

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

Raise your hand if you like to listen to music. My students would like to listen to various types of music during music class, and reflect on what they have heard. Unfortunately, at this time, this is not possible for them.

Presently, I teach elementary/middle school music (4-8) at a high needs public school in Illinois.

Due to budget cuts, the school is unable to fund a music program for the school. Music, being an interdisciplinary subject, encompasses all subjects students encounter during their education. The students at this school are very enthusiastic about music and should have a top notch music program. This can only be possible with your help!

My Project

Having a sound system and speakers for the computer at the school will allow the students a chance to explore new music, listen to various genres of music, and write down their feelings about the music they have listened to. They will also receive the satisfaction of learning to analyze music. Music is very entertaining and allows for freedom of expression. My students deserve the opportunity to express themselves through music, and listening to music and recording their responses will provide that foundation.

Music is the universal language, and provides an experience that will allow the students to appreciate the creative process, and develop a commitment to excellence.

Your donations will help the students to experience music on a greater level through listening.
